Book Review. Harry Brighouse and Adam Swift, Family Values. The Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships

Zwarthoed, Danielle [UCL]

Brighouse’s and Swift’s book Family Values discusses the value of the family from a liberal egalitarian perspective. This important contribution to an emerging field does not only target an audience of moral and political philosophers. Written in an extremely accessible style, it should also interest social scientists, educators and family law scholars. This book should be highly helpful to tackle issues such as child custody, family reunification, parental education or surrogacy.
